So... a lot of smug comments on both sides claiming what technical analysis is and isn't. Let's get something straight, there are only two ways of analysing markets: fundamentally or technically. I've been actively trading ne

I think it falls into a few categories: and you can _feel_ the difference. There is type one: the company just going through the motions because they're just the NPC that feels "oh I now its time to 'do' VC because that&

This is a great idea, but I'm thinking weights aren't enough. If the recent rumors are true of the latest models like chat GPT-4, for example - they have a realitively new style of overlapping _a cohort_ of models, not just utiliz

yeah I took a look and couldnt help but feeling like it was a laundry list with minimal examples and not always telling you why or when you would use a certain feature of TypeScript. Example: TypeScript _does_ enable you to overload functio

"don't build sites a complex way with FRAMEWORKS or LIBRARIES!" "instead, here's our way with a DIFFERENT set of frameworks and libraries!" ...you're kidding me right?

I thought (though apparently with these comments I'm in the minority) the most recent conventional wisdom has reverted to agreeing that yes, starting on self-hosted / managed servers is the best path. Seems like naysayers in here

Same. I love that companies look for professionals but don't act professional.

Great post, I've used all these services once or more at various points in my career. I'm still on the Digital Ocean stage, as I've found AWS is often overly complicated (or at least too much for me as a primarily solo founde

To all the AI hucksters - there was a decades long effort already tried, known as "5th generation programming languages" where they assumed the next level after high level programming languages would be to remove the human program

But how is it terrifying, if you've seen this four times and we're all still here? I'm inclined to think this AI hype way more fear mongering and over extrapolation than anything else.

Finally someone on HN who understands the technology (surprisingly few) and the socioeconomic undercurrent and risks. Absolutely no risk of terminator here, just ignorance masquerading as such.

These are almost certainly hallucinated. Why would they use the prompt interface itself to try and 'protect' the software itself? How in the world do people think this is really "the golden guiding prompt, straight from the e

The best way I've ever had it explained to me is with electron tunneling. You ask, how did the electron "jump" that potential hill, when it actually didn't have the momentum to do so? The answer: it didn't, it quite

I don't understand the animosity around useEffect. It executes a function based on a list of dependent variables. That's it. Once you understand that, its purpose becomes very clear. You don't want to rerender? Use useEffect

It's really just math though. Any "LLM" isn't really "thinking" in any spoken or written language, but rather in a massive series of weighted matrices (numbers). I've commented a few times here and there a
